Why choose Argentina to learn Spanish

Over the past 10 years Argentina has become an increasingly
popular country to learn Spanish. Despite being 13 or more hours
away from continental Europe, (slightly less from the U.S), Argentina,
and in particular the capital city of Buenos Aires has seen a huge
growth of tourists from all walks of life descending on the country.
The boom began in 2002, a year or so after Argentina's economic crash
in 2001 when travelers flocked to the country to take advantage of
cheap living costs. But with inflation having leveled things out,
what is it about Argentina that makes it such a popular travel
destination for those looking for great Spanish courses? One of
the best Spanish schools in Argentina, Expanish Spanish School,
offers its thoughts.

A window into the world Latin America

Despite its modern, European feel, there's no denying that
Argentina is still very much a Latin American country, and provides
an intriguing, fascinating and stunning cultural backdrop to students
wanting an authentic Spanish studying experience. In comparison with
studying in Spain, Argentina is certain to throw up some unexpected
and memorable experiences along the way and offer an insight into a
totally different culture. Many of the Buenos Aires Spanish schools
offer immersion programs to help students experience the real Argentina.
As with much of Latin America, Argentina has its economic and social
problems. For students wanting to offer their time to help some of
the poorer communities in South America, a select few of the Spanish
language Schools provide volunteering opportunities.http://www.expanishvolunteer.com

Developed infrastructure

Argentina has relatively a developed infrastructure in comparison to
its Latin American neighbors. Many tourists are shocked at the European
characteristics of some of the country's major cities, namely Cordoba
and Buenos Aires. The transport system includes BA's SubT system, some
of the best national bus services you'll find anywhere in the world,
plus trains, airports in every province. In addition the shops, restaurants
and public areas are of world class standards. All of these factors
combine to make Argentina one of the most traveler friendly countries
to visit in the whole of Latin America.

Great food

Famous for fantastic carbon grill succulent steaks and authentic
Italian food. Argentina is a meat and red wine lover's dream. But venture
away from the usual steak and Malbec combination and tourists are constantly
surprised by the advanced cuisine available to lovers of all foods. AND even
vegetarians! So Spanish language learners can practice their Spanish food
translations for real! Anyone for morrones and berenjenas?http://www.idlewords.com/2006/04/argentina_on_two_steaks_a_day.htmhttp://pickupthefork.com

It's extremely important, and not always easy to choose a
good, reputable Spanish School, that is going to provide you
with a fun, welcoming and high quality language learning experience.
In comparison with other Latin American countries Argentina is
known for offering high quality teaching at reasonable prices.
Expanish is one of the
most reputable of schools based in Buenos Aires, and offers its
students a range of international standard courses in the centre of Buenos Aires.

Welcoming people

Argentine's are known for their love of football, steak and
from time to time, a little arrogance. But really, the arrogance
is just a cover for friendly, warm and passion. Argentine's tend
to greet new Spanish learners with supportive words such as 'hablas
Español muy bien!!' and appreciate anyone who gives the
language a try. It's an extremely sociable country and a great
place to get in a Spanish practice conversation, anywhere and
everywhere. From a bus queue to a bar.

Landscape

Argentina has it all, great lakes, snowy mountains, glaciers,
wild west scenery, beaches, pampas plains, deserts and salt flats.
It's a country of extremes and beauty. So for a Spanish language
learner wanting to experience some of the most impressive landscapes
in the world, in their spare time, Argentina offers it all.

Buenos Aires

One of the world's top destination cities. Buenos Aires, Argentina's
capital city is known for Tango shows, parillas, the obelisk, Evita and
Casa Rosada but there's much more to the city than meets the immediate
visitors eye. With art shows, graffiti tours, underground milongas, old
school cafes, outdoor cinemas and nightclubs, Buenos Aires needs at least
3 weeks of a visitors time to get under it's skin. Which is why learning
Spanish is a great excuse to stay longer!
